Berry completes quick double

Thu 8th Jul 2010, 19:19

Napa Starr from the Charles Byrnes stable added another win to his tally when taking the Fernleigh Handicap under a fine ride by Fran Berry making it a quick double for the rider.

Berry had his mount in contention inside the final furlong and the 4/1 shot kept on well under a strong drive to get up and lead close home.

“Fran [Berry] gave him a tremendous ride, all the credit goes to the jockey”, stated Byrnes.

“The small field really helped, his ideal trip is really a mile or nine furlongs.”

“I don’t think we’ll run him in Galway, he ran badly there last year. I think he’s better suited to a flat track.”

“He won’t be running over hurdles again this season.”
